Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the insertion of transcutaneous devices such as needles, needle-like members and cannulas. More specifically, the invention relates to insertion of a transcutaneous device at a selected site within the body of a subject for subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular or intradermal delivery of a drug to the subject, the transcutaneous device being carried by a device comprising a mounting surface adapted for application to the skin of the subject. Especially, the invention relates to insertion of an infusion needle or cannula for the infusion of a drug, to insertion of a needle-formed sensor, as well as to insertion of insertion needles for easy placement of a device such as a sensor through the skin of a subject.
  • Portable drug delivery devices for delivering a drug to a patient are well known and generally comprise a reservoir adapted to contain a liquid drug and having an outlet in fluid communication with a hollow infusion needle, as well as expelling means for expelling a drug out of the reservoir and through the skin of the subject via the hollow needle.
  • Such devices are often termed infusion pumps.
  • infusion pumps can be divided into two classes.
  • the first class comprises durable infusion pumps which are relatively expensive pumps intended for 3-4 years use, for which reason the initial cost for such a pump often is a barrier to this type of therapy.
  • the pump offer the advantages of continuous infusion of insulin, precision in dosing and optionally programmable delivery profiles and user actuated bolus infusions in connections with meals.
  • the disposable pumps generally comprises a skin-contacting mounting surface adapted for application to the skin of a subject by adhesive means, and with the infusion needle arranged such that in a situation of use it projects from the mounting surface to thereby penetrate the skin of the subject, whereby the place where the needle penetrates the skin is covered while the appliance is in use.
  • the infusion needle may be arranged to permanently project from the mounting surface such that the needle is inserted simultaneously with the application of the infusion pump. Examples of this configuration can be found in US patents 2,605,765 , 4,340,048 and in EP 1 177 802 . Although this configuration provides a simple and cost-effective solution, the actual user-performed piercing of the tissue with the needle is often problematic as people who are not experts in medicine are usually insufficiently practised to place such a needle correctly and they often suffer from a fear of the likely pain.
  • US patent 5,851,197 discloses an injector in which an infusion set comprising a skin-mountable surface with a protruding needle can be mounted, the injector upon actuation driving the entire infusion set into contact with a skin portion whereby the needle is inserted through the skin.
  • infusion pump devices have been proposed in which the pump device is supplied to the user with the needle in a retracted state, i.e. with the distal pointed end of the needle "hidden” inside the pump device, this allowing the user to place the pump device on the skin without the possibility of observing the needle.
  • the needle is hidden, at least some of the fear is overcome making the introduction of the needle in a second step less problematic.
  • US patents 5,858,001 and 5,814,020 disclose infusion devices of this type in which an infusion needle is arranged in an upper housing portion pivotably arranged relative to a base plate portion. In this way the user can introduce the needle by pressing the upper portion into engagement with the base plate portion.
  • US patent 5,957,895 discloses a liquid drug delivery device comprising a bent injection needle which is adapted to project through a needle aperture in the bottom surface of the housing in a situation of use.
  • a movable needle carrier is disposed in the housing for carrying the injection needle and for causing the injection end of the needle to project through the needle aperture upon movement of the needle carrier.
  • US patent 5,931,814 discloses an infusion device having a housing with a drug reservoir, an infusion needle (or cannula) communicating with the reservoir, means for inserting the needle, and pump means for discharging the reservoir contents through the needle.
  • the needle is fixed relative to the housing and projects beyond the lower skin-contacting surface of the housing to the depth required for injection.
  • the needle is surrounded by a protective element which is moved by spring means from a first end position in which the protective device projects beyond the lower surface of the housing and beyond the needle to a second end position in which the protective device does not project beyond the underside of the casing.
  • An advantage of this design is that the needle is arranged in a fixed position relative to the reservoir.
  • WO 02/15965 discloses a similar infusion device in which a base plate member acts as a protecting element until an upper part of the device, to which the needle is fixed, is moved down into engagement with the base plate member.
  • the needle is automatically inserted by the release of pre-tensioned spring means arranged within the devices, whereas in the device known from WO 02/15965 the needle is inserted by the user actively moving the hidden needle.
  • the automatic needle insertion means adds convenience for the user and may serve to overcome needle fear, such means also adds to the complexity and thus to the cost of the device, just as they may reduce the reliability.
  • drug infusion pumps either disposable or durable, may provide convenience of use and improved treatment control
  • a given monitor system for measuring the concentration of a given substance may be based on invasive or non-invasive measuring principles.
  • An example of the latter would be a non-invasive glucose monitor arranged on the skin surface of a patient and using near-IR spectroscopy, however, the present invention is concerned with the introduction of a transcutaneous device such as a needle-formed sensor element.
  • the sensor may be placed subcutaneously being connected to external equipment by wiring or the substance (e.g. fluid) to be analysed may be transported to an external sensor element, both arrangements requiring the placement of a subcutaneous component (e.g. small catheter or tubing), the present invention addressing both arrangements.
  • a subcutaneous component e.g. small catheter or tubing
  • the term "sensor” is used in the following for both types of elements introduced into the subject.
  • US patent 5,954,643 discloses an insertion set comprising a mounting base supporting a proximal end of a flexible thin film sensor, the sensor including a distal segment with sensor electrodes thereon which protrudes from the mounting base for transcutaneous placement, wherein the sensor distal segment is slidably carried by a slotted insertion needle fitted through the assembled base. Placement of the insertion set against the patient's skin causes the insertion needle to pierce the skin to carry the sensor electrodes to the desired subcutaneous site, after which the insertion needle can be slidably withdrawn from the insertion set.
  • a similar arrangement is known from US patent 5,568,806 .
  • EP-A-937 475 An injection device with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is disclosed in EP-A-937 475 .
  • a device comprising a transcutaneous device and insertion means (or driving means) therefore, which allows for easy and swift, automatic insertion of the transcutaneous device, yet is reliable in use.
  • the device should be compact in size and be designed for cost effective manufacturing.
  • the transcutaneous device insertion means can be activated by the user during actuation of the insertion means for the transcutaneous device.
  • activation of the insertion means relates to the energizing thereof
  • actuation relates to the user-related input responsible for both energizing and release of the insertion means.
  • a medical device comprising a housing having a mounting surface adapted for application to the skin of a subject, a transcutaneous device with a distal, pointed end portion adapted to penetrate the skin of the subject, wherein the transcutaneous device has a first position in which the distal end portion is retracted within the housing, and a second position in which the distal end portion projects relative to the mounting surface.
  • the medical device further comprises actuatable driving means disposed within the housing and adapted to move the transcutaneous device from the first position to the second position when the driving means is actuated, wherein the driving means is actuatable from a first state through an intermediate state to a second state, whereby actuation of the driving means from the first to the intermediate state causes activation of the driving means, and actuation of the driving means from the intermediate to the second state causes release of the activated driving means thereby moving the transcutaneous device from the first position to the second position.
  • the first state may also be termed an initial state just as the second state may be termed an active state.
  • the activated state not necessarily is a stable state in which the spring means can be left, but a state which may require that an actuation input (e.g. a force applied by the user) is upheld, i.e. the spring means may resume an initial state if the actuation input is removed. Further, the actuation means may be partly energized in their initial state.
  • an actuation input e.g. a force applied by the user
  • a medical device which can be supplied to the user in a non-energized or only slightly energized state, the energizing taking place when the device is actuated by the user which means that energy will be stored only for a period from a few seconds to a few hours or days.
  • the device may be designed such that the drive means is fully depleted from energy when the transcutaneous device has been inserted (e.g. by locking the transcutaneous device in its second position), or it may be designed to exert a biasing force upon the transcutaneous device in its second position.
  • the drive means and the elements upon which a force is exerted by the drive means can be optimized for a very short "active" life, this in contrast to arrangements in which energy is stored corresponding to the entire shelf life of the device, e.g. one or more years.
  • energy is stored corresponding to the entire shelf life of the device, e.g. one or more years.
  • much higher requirements would have to be fulfilled for a polymer spring adapted for storing energy during a period of several years, or by a polymer structure adapted for locking a metal spring during a corresponding period.
  • to prevent structures from locking (e.g. "growing together") during storage it may be necessary to store additional energy to overcome a possible locking resistance, this adding to the aforementioned problems.
  • by providing a device which can be shipped, stored and handled in a non-energized condition the risk of accidental actuation will be reduced.
  • the transcutaneous device may be in the form of a pointed hollow infusion needle, a micro needle array, a pointed needle sensor, or a combination of a relatively flexible per se blunt cannula or sensor device with a pointed insertion needle may provide a pointed transcutaneous device, the insertion needle being retractable after insertion of the blunt portion of the transcutaneous device.
  • the cannula is advantageously soft and flexible relative to the insertion needle which typically is a solid steel needle.
  • the driving means comprises spring means adapted for releasably storing energy which can be activated respectively released when the driving means is actuated from the first state through the intermediate state to the second state by the user.
  • the spring means may comprise any elastically compressible or deformable means, e.g. a metal or polymer member, an elastomeric foam or a gas.
  • the driving means may be arranged to exert a force on at least a portion (e.g. in case the device comprises a retractable insertion needle) of the transcutaneous device in the second state thereby biasing it towards the second position.
  • the mounting surface comprises an aperture formed therein, the distal end portion of the transcutaneous device being moved through the aperture when the transcutaneous device is moved from the first to the second position.
  • the transcutaneous device may be provided as part of a unit (e.g. a needle unit) which is then engaged and moved by the driving means.
  • the spring means comprises a drive portion adapted to engage an engagement portion of the transcutaneous device (i.e. the engagement portion may be part of the transcutaneous device or it may be associated therewith, e.g. by means of the aforementioned unit) when the spring means is released (e.g. the two portions actually coming into engagement with each other), wherein activation of the spring means causes an activation movement of the drive portion corresponding to the movement by which energy is releasably stored in the spring means, and a displacement movement, different from the activation movement, in which the drive portion and the engagement portion are moved relative to each other.
  • the spring means when the user activates the spring means two actions take place: The spring is stressed and positioned relative to the portion of the needle unit which it is adapted to engage when released. The positioning may take place by moving the spring means, the needle unit or both.
  • the spring means will directly engage the needle or the structure carrying the needle, however, the needle unit may be provided with transfer or linkage means allowing the spring means to act indirectly on the needle, e.g. when it is desirable to transform a primary movement of the spring means such as from an upwards to a downwards movement.
  • the transcutaneous device may be introduced subcutaneously at any desired angel relative to the mounting surface (and thus the skin surface), e.g. in the second position the distal end portion may extend generally perpendicular to the mounting surface.
  • the drive portion corresponding to the first state may be arranged below and beside the engagement portion (with respect to the mounting surface), and such that the drive portion corresponding to the intermediate state is arranged in an upper position substantially above the engagement portion.
  • the device advantageously comprises actuation means moveable from a first position through an intermediate position to a second position, whereby movement of the actuation means from the first to the intermediate position causes activation of the spring means, and movement from the intermediate to the second position causes release of the activated spring means thereby moving the needle from the first position to the second position.
  • the actuation means may be in the form of user actuatable element which can be gripped or moved by the user relative to the housing (e.g. a button), or a (major) portion of the housing may be moveable relative to a base portion comprising the mounting surface.
  • the movement preferably corresponds to a substantially non-composite movement (e.g. a unidirectional linear or rotational movement which may be with or without an intermediate lockable state).
  • actuation of the actuation means from the first through the intermediate to the second condition is accomplished by moving two actuation elements against each.
  • the spring means is coupled to the actuation means, whereby the displacement movement of the drive portion substantially corresponds to the movement of the actuation means from the first to the intermediate position.
  • the device comprises ramp (or lifting) means adapted to engage the spring means, such that movement of the actuation means from the first to the intermediate position causes the ramp means to move (lift) the drive portion to its upper position, and movement of the actuation means from the intermediate position to the second position causes the ramp means to disengage and thereby release the spring means.
  • the spring means may comprise a spring member (e.g. a "physical” member such as a leaf spring or a "piano" string, this in contrast to a gas spring) having a proximal end mounted to the actuation means and a distal deflectable end portion comprising the drive portion, the distal end portion engaging the ramp means.
  • the needle unit comprises a needle carrier carrying the needle, the needle carrier being coupled (e.g. pivotally) to the housing for controlled movement of the needle between the first and second positions.
  • the first unit comprises a transcutaneous device comprising a transcutaneous member (e.g. a soft cannula or a sensor) in combination with a co-axially or co-linearly arranged pointed insertion needle, the insertion needle and the transcutaneous member being arranged to be simultaneously moved by the driving means from their respective first position to their respective second position when the driving means is actuated, wherein the insertion needle is arranged to be moveable away from the distal end of the transcutaneous member when the cannula and the insertion needle have been moved to their second position.

  • the reservoir and the expelling means may be of any suitable type, e.g. of any of the types described in the above-referred documents.
  • the reservoir may be connected to the actuation means, and arranged such that movement of the actuation means between the first and the second position causes the reservoir to be arranged in fluid communication with the infusion needle.
